It conveys the author&#8217;s belief that Welker, described as a longstanding Democrat supporter\u2062 and \u2064having\u2063 a history of pushing Democratic narratives, is unsuitable for a\u200b fair interview regarding Trump&#8217;s policy goals and controversial cabinet picks. The piece references a \u2062previous \u2063interview in September 2023 in \u200cwhich \u2063welker allegedly failed \u200bto \u2062challenge false claims made by Trump and\u2062 instead pushed Democratic talking points, especially on abortion. The critique emphasizes her interruptions\u200b and attempts to deny Trump&#8217;s statements about Democrats&#8217; abortion policies, \u200dwhich the article argues are aligned with extreme positions \u200dheld by some party members. \u2064the author portrays\u200c Welker as biased, suggesting her role as a moderator\u2064 undermines the\u2062 integrity of political interviews.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump&rsquo;s slated sitdown with NBC News&rsquo; Kristen Welker on Sunday is not the first time the two will meet in a one-on-one interview setting, but given her history as a longstanding Democrat propagandist, it should be the last. <\/p>\n<p>If Trump&rsquo;s team thinks a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/11\/09\/vivek-won-the-gop-debate-by-trashing-nbc-moderator-for-spreading-the-russia-collusion-hoax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Russia collusion hoaxer<\/a> like Welker is capable of a fair conversation about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-cant-deny-responsibility-for-our-so-so-divided-nation\/\" title=\"Biden Can\u2019t Deny Responsibility For Our \u2018So, So Divided\u2019 Nation\">president-elect&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s second-term policy goals or his <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/trumps-controversial-cabinet-picks-raise-questions-lower-ethical\/story?id=116281355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;controversial&rdquo;<\/a> Cabinet picks, they should think again.

His appearances on podcasts like &ldquo;The Joe Rogan Experience&rdquo; and &ldquo;This Past Weekend with Theo Von&rdquo; are even thought to have boosted his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/trump-victory-proves-importance-of-candid-longform-podcasts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">performance at the November polls<\/a>. They would do well to maintain that same approach now. <\/p>\n<p>Instead of giving a known partisan hack the benefit of one of the first corporate media sitdowns since his presidential victory, Trump should tell Welker (and every other press propagandist) that she&rsquo;s permanently fired from interviewing him.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
